Director Vikram’s 24 is a cleverly crafted entertainer that is worth your time and money.

Lockup deaths and police encounters will no longer be mere newspaper reports after watching Visaranai, as the film sends across a chilling message.

…there are several innocently uttered dialogues from the mouth of little children that hit you hard and leave you feeling guilty.

This is Suriya’s second production after the successful 36 Vayadhinile and he definitely has another winner in his hands. 

Though loaded with fantastical commercial elements catering to Ajith’s mass hero image, the decent plot, stunning music by Anirudh and spectacular visuals captured by cinematographer Vetri make director Siva’s Vedalam an enjoyable Diwali treat…

The film does revolve around the age-old conflict between good versus evil, but the contemporary twist to this slick and stylish racy thriller takes it to a whole new level.

A well-written screenplay, brilliantly executed, with clever music, stunning cinematography, and, above all, the hugely talented Kamal Haasan, make Jeethu Joseph’s Papanasam a must watch.

But it is undoubtedly the director, who deserves all the credit.

His skilful writing and deft direction, coupled with some fitting music and great all round performances, make his debut venture worth watching.

The director has touched upon many issues: the class divide, poverty, desires, the root of anti-social behaviour, the fickleness of society, the lure of advertisements, the influence of film stars, and the insensitive media. But he has chosen to do it discreetly.

He has generously peppered the narrative with fun moments without undermining the underlying concern.

Kaaka Muttai is totally worth it, definitely a must watch.

Almost entirely shot in a single room with no gruesome ghosts or unnecessary build up, the director has skilfully created the eerie atmosphere, with incessant rain, a subtle aura of menace, unsophisticated characters and underlying hint of truth.

The film is undoubtedly a fine attempt by the debutant director.

Definitely worth a watch.

The simple dialogues that are the director’s trademark, the unique narrative style, realistic characters, and excellent performances coupled with great music and stunning visuals make Mani Ratnam’s O Kadhal Kanmani a must-watch.
